Appreciate the heads up. Didn't see your post until now. I ended up snagging a new copy from Amazon for $22 last week.

Lovin' it so far. Tons of fun. I don't think it's crappy at all compared to the 2nd, as popular opinion seems to be indicating here. I am enjoying "the Third" just as much as I did that one. However, I am coming fresh off of finally finishing GTA IV, so that could be why it seems so great (lol). The 4th game sounds like a hell of a lot of fun already, but I have plenty of back log in the meantime to take up my time while the price goes down.

How is the game? Is the Boss able to fly all over the place a la Vanguard?

You get superpowers at a certain point in the game, starting with two: a really, really fast run and a super jump. There's more but I haven't unlocked them yet, and you can upgrade them too to be faster/higher/whatever. It's so much fun.

Plus there's the fact that you're the President fighting off an alien invasion. And it's laden with shoutouts to other games (yes, Mass Effect included) and of course the past Saints Rows.

As Parn said, great music. I died laughing when Aerosmith played early on.

AUUUGHH How do I get my SR3 character into SR4. I've signed up on the website, I've downloaded the Inauguration Station, but it doesn't let me on! Why is this so complicated? Why can't the system just look at the old data?!

I'm about to say screw it and just try remaking my guy. Like I always do. Damn it, Volition.

I mostly pop in occasionally to give my two cents on certain controversial things, so if you disagree then send a PM, because I generally don't check for replies in threads in case I feel like replying and then things get heated/derailed.

I couldn't import my SR3 girl either. Recreated her in the inauguration station a couple weeks ago so I wouldn't have to do it when SRIV came out and it took me a good hour or two.

'Does this thing have a radio?''Well radio signals just bounce off the-''QUIET! This. Is. Haddaway.'*What Is Love? starts playing while you're flying a spaceship shooting things and doing barrel rolls*

I didn't even know importing was an option, I just recreated from scratch. Renting via Redbox by the way, was a bit of a shock going from the performance and graphic quality of PC SR3 to the PS3 version of SR4, but I've mostly gotten over it now. Definitely addicting to go after all the missions and collectibles!

Same, looks awesome but gonna hold off for a bit. Have more than enough to play right now that it's hard to pay attention to just what I have. The super power collecting thing sounds awesome - probably something I'd just dive in and get whatever I could asap haha
